LRR Minecraft Server

[Drakmon]

Hi, can i get permission on the server, keep missing the mods as i'm in the uk so i thought i'd ask on here :3 minecraft name is Drakmon

Probably branch off from the path to your area.

Might be prudent first though to make sure whoever is building on that island is OK with it.

Works for me chaps, build away

[ritchards]

Okay, I've only just picked up MineCraft... so there goes any time I had. However, this means I am a complete noob, aside from what I've seen James do. Would I be better off setting up a single player server, or jumping into an online server? If the latter, the obvious choice is the LRR server (which I need permission for? username: ritchards), but is there a better choice for learning on?

[AdmiralMemo]

I'd say get the basic of the interface by doing a creative single-player. Once you've done that, try a bit of single-player survival. Once you've got the gist of that, hop online.

[TStodden]

As Memo has stated, starting in Solo Creative is probably the best place to start to get the basic controls down.

Then going Solo Survival on Peaceful is the next viable step to get the grasp of resource & inventory management as well as environmental hazards (falls, lava & drowning / suffocation) without having to call with hostile mobs (Any aggressive / hostile mobs will be self-inflicted). The downside of Peaceful difficulty is that you won't have all the items available because of the lack of some mob drops.

The next step is to go up to Easy difficulty for the hostile mobs (Zombie, Skeletons & Creepers to start), which is the base difficulty you'll run into on the more friendly servers (most servers will run at normal difficulty)... Which is around the same time you'll probably want to go multiplayer.

As for online servers, rules & communities can vary GREATLY. Most public servers generally have the "Don't be a dick" ideal for rules & practically no assistance for newbies. For friendly servers (which have incurred some initial development around the default spawn area), there's usually some public services for resources (starter kits, public farms, community storage, ect.) that newbies can utilize to get started so they don't have to completely struggle (finding a place to settle, is another thing).

The one potentially major help / hindrance are the other players at the time. While friends can help you out (with projects or items), while less desirable players could troll your projects OR kill you (if PvP is permitted)... so it's a mixed bag, depending on the server & the general population.

I kind this might be a bit much to start, but you'll get a hang of it.

Hi! Could I please have access to the server? My username is ArthurArthur.

Also, what IP should I use?

Thanks!

I've been watching James stream for months and finally decided to give it a try. However, playing locally is pretty much the loneliest thing I have ever experienced. Would love to just be on a small plot far away on the LRR server. Just knowing other people are around will probably make it more enjoyable

You both have permission.
The IP is lrrmc.rebellious.uno

Have fun!

[Drakmon]

Thank you :3

Can sea lanterns be purchased?

[ArthurArthur]

Thanks!

Issue I have now: I get a "can't resolve hostname" for both lrrmc.rebellious.uno and lrrmc.dahou.se. The first gives me "unknown host" when I try to join anyway. The second gives me a "connection refused" Java error.

I can connect to random other multiplayer servers just fine.

Can you please let me know what I'm doing wrong? I'm on a Mac. Sorry for being a bother and thanks so much for the help!

You used to be able to in the Underground Market, but then the Shop stuff broke.

Someone was working on a Guardian farm, though I don't know how that's going.

It's probably something with the DNS you're using. I had a similar issue when trying to join the server initially. Try OpenDNS and see if that helps.

That was probably me, and the farm is completed:
http://lrrmap.rebellious.uno/?worldname=world&mapname=surface&zoom=5&x=3875&y=64&z=-246

A warning though: while the farm can do 8k drops when I'm alone on the server the performance degrades rapidly as soon as somebody else logs on. currently the farm has only 9 spawnable chunks and that just does not compare to the 81 any other player on the server has. I've worked out a plan to up it to the max of 25? chunks, but that requires a ton of resources (and is still far less than any other player).
Feel free to take a look and afk there for a while.

Ooh, you're due north of me as well, neat

[Rikadyn]

alright, went and looked, cannot for the life of me figure it out lol

[zeth_russ]

alright, went and looked, cannot for the life of me figure it out lol

stand on the dark prismarine and wait, drops appear in the chests

[TheWiseone]

Ooh a new server.

It's been a long while. I've missed this community. Not logged in for some time here either. Lots of stuff going on; long story.

Looking to get on to have some fun with you guys again. I assume the regulations are similar to before, so here's my relevant information (i.e: name): jeremy2d

I couldn't figure out how to get to anything, I just walked along the wall for 5mins..

[Deimir]

I logged into the server once before but there was no one online to authorize me. Username is DeimirTM if you could turn on privileges for me please. Looking at the map I'd like to start building around 5200, -929 if that's okay.

EDIT: If you want me closer to spawn, just about anywhere mountainous and snowy will do.

[squaredotcube]

Big thanks to everyone that chipped in to build Jamestown. I'm trying to get all the credits to put on a wall there, and to send a nice reward for their efforts, so if you helped or know someone who did help just tell me on the thread.

And it's probably nice that James has somewhere to walk to for trading.

:shock: Ooh a new server.

I gotcha while you were there, so that's resolved.

You got perms too. I don't think your claim should be of any problem with anyone else

This might have gotten buried, but this is what I'm thinking:



Have a bridge (and maybe a rail line) across the ocean there so one doesn't have to go all the way west and cross at the mesa/ Fort Richard Butt.

So with building plans ongoing for an eastern spur, how about a discussion of the southern spur?



Two proposed footprints (dashed yellow above) with callouts for the southern end of spawn subway just east of the Herbert Hole and the northern end of my bridge building project. I'm hoping to get feedback from everyone who has settled south of spawn on the areas in which they've planned to build, and their interest for a trunk rail-line to connect spawn with the south. Eventually I'm hoping to create a new community center under the mountain range in the neck of land about x=-400, z=2780, or the island beyond (x=-480, z=3200).

I've marked the building I know of on the picture, but I am uncertain as to their underground impacts, and I'm hoping to avoid barging through people's tunnels. Feedback and commentary are encouraged on the overland/underground options for this line, and proposals for alternate pathways north.

[ChroniclerC]

An amusing realization comes to me. I still have a whole continent to myself! I shall name it...


(And yes, I have a flag. )

That was it! I switched from my ISP's to Google's DNS and immediately had a connection. Interestingly enough, OpenDNS didn't work. Thanks!

1.8.4 is now out. Includes some security fixes.

https://mojang.com/2015/04/minecraft-1-8-4-security-release/

Apparently the main security issues have already been fixed in Spigot:

For security reasons it is recommended that all users upgrade to Minecraft 1.8.3 by re-running BuildTools. A fix for 1.8 is also available via the --rev 1.8 argument. At this stage there is no fix for 1.7.10 or below, however given these builds have been unsupported for more than 7 months, we recommend that all servers look into upgrading. For those using Vanilla, it is anticipated a fixed 1.8.4 version will be released by Mojang soon.

You've got my area a bit bigger and farther to the east than what I'm actually planning to use. I currently have no plans to expand beyond the circle of guild symbols around my land, and the road leading east from my place isn't something I've claimed or anything either. (It just connects my land with the other roads) As for my underground reach, I've probably mined beyond my own land, but it's more likely to have happened to the north and west, not the south and east. If any of my mines do happen to be in the railway's way, I have absolutely no problem with them being broken for it.

By the way, have we considered building the railway in the Nether instead? The south is already far easier to reach through the Nether, and I don't know if it's worth all that effort to build overworld rails that far out.
